SIBERIA K. O. – Looking To the Future!

Band mates, Garrett Seberras and Milan Dajnko of the band SIBERIA K. O. are passionate abouttheir music and believe in collaboration and when they joined forces a number of years ago, theyknew in order to make it in the music business it was all about the song! Garrett who is theprinciple writer in the band and his collaborator Milan started recording songs in their homestudio so they could have something to present to music industry professionals and so they did.

They knocked on the door of Backstage Productions International - a noted CanadianEntertainment Organization with a Global outlook. Backstage is headed up by acclaimedProducer and Marketer Steve Thomson. After consultation with his producing partner, noted
songwriter/producer/guitarist David Bacha, the two agreed - the material had potential, so theytook the next step to check out the band in performance. Both Thomson and Bacha felt the duo
had strong possibilities and decided to invest the time in the band to see what happens.

After several months of pre-production and rewrites it was time to go the next step and record!First they needed a Drummer and a Keyboard player and this is where it became interesting. Inwalks Owen Tennyson, a great drummer who has worked with just about everybody, suggestingEddie Harsch (formerly of the Black Crowes) for keyboards. After a number of conversationsThomson convinced genius keyboardist and melody maker Eddie Harsch to get on board, andthat he did, bringing yet another element of musicality to an already musical project.But that’s not all! Luciano Lombardi who was mentored by Ennio Morricone was brought in towork on some string arrangements and conduct the players. The result - “Wow”! And perhapsthis is the best way to describe the band’s debut album. The song-writing duo is now in rehearsalpreparing their show and readying for a forthcoming video that will be shot in the immediatefuture. They’ve come a long way from singing in the school band and performing on Tiny Talent Time.

What ever happened to Eddie Harsch

Acclaimed keyboardist and legendary musician Eddie Harsch known best for his musical contributions to the Black Crowes, in particular his incomparable performance on The Crowes’ Led Zeppelin recordings with Jimmy Page, is alive and well and living in Toronto and we found him. It all happened when we were recording the debut CD by Siberia K. O. entitled “All Shook Up” and our drummer Owen Teenyson said Eddie Harsch was in town visiting his folks, so I tracked him down through a mutual friend Daryl “Harpo” Petersen and called him and extended an invitation for him to come out to a session we were doing and check out some new music.
Eddie arrived and he sat in the control room digging one of the tracks and got up walked into the studio, sat down at the B3, put on the head set and said “Hey let me hear that track again” he started to noodle and before you knew it he was in the band bringing his magic touch to some great new songs taking them to yet another level embellishing each track with melodic lines in his inimitable style, making each recording that much more special than the next. After each song he came into the control room and pondered the next track, and as he listened to the beds go by he stated “I really like the kid he has a real angst about him kind of like a young Lou Reed” - And back into the studio for another song.
We thought we heard it all until he sat down at the Grand Piano and worked his magic on a few tracks in a style reminiscent of Bruce Hornsby and the late great Doug Riley. The year that followed our first encounter saw Eddie attend most sessions providing input that has made “All Shook Up” a recording everyone is proud of! The 11 track CD also features the orchestral arrangements of Italian composer Luciano Lombardi whose sensitivity to the brilliant musical lines enhances the listening experience.
